According to the New York Times, the "Tales of the Black Freighter" segments from Watchmen will be released as a direct-to-DVD release.

| The second film, tentatively called “Tales of the Black Freighter,” follows a side “Watchmen” storyline about a shipwreck and will arrive in stores five days after the main movie rolls out in theaters. The DVD will also include a documentary-style film called “Under the Hood” that will delve into the characters’ backstories. |
The Times sees this as an attempt to boost lagging DVD sales. Of course to us geeks, it’s just cool that the pirate story will be shot at all.
